"The princess' mother said that my second brother was born as the eldest son of the eldest branch of the family and would become the head of the Lu family in the future. They were unwilling to let their son live under my second brother's control, so they wanted to kill him..."
Xiao Xier then told Mu Chen Hanyue about the experiences of Su Ningan and Su Ningwen...
Mu Chen Hanyue frowned unconsciously as he listened to her story.
She was not poisoned to death, but was allowed to survive. After going through hardships, she witnessed the wickedness of human nature too early. She will mature earlier than in her previous life.
"...Some people harm others for their family fortune or personal gain, while others do so simply out of jealousy. Just like the Cui family resents the Meng family for being more knowledgeable and superior in every way. Others deceive and murder others for promotions, their children's futures, or even for false fame. Sister, why would someone harm others for something that doesn't belong to them?"
These words were like a soul-searching question, and Mu Chen Hanyue didn't know how to answer.
The throne of the empress originally belonged to her, but when her younger sister was born, she had to hand it over to her because she was of the Holy Phoenix bloodline. How could she be willing to accept this?
Our ancestors once predicted: When a phoenix is born, the bloodline of the Holy Phoenix will be born, and it will be naturally fragrant. No matter if they are legitimate or illegitimate, they will ascend to the throne!
She just won't give in!
They all crawled out of the queen mother’s belly!
Why is it that Mu Chen Hanxi has the Holy Phoenix bloodline instead of her?
"Sister is only ten years old now. Although she is a big child, adults have complicated thoughts and I don't really understand them."
You just can't accept it, you don't want to, why isn't the Holy Phoenix bloodline yours?
Xiao Xier interpreted her inner thoughts from her eyes.
"The second and fourth branches of the Lu family, the Cui family, and the Song family—they've done everything perfectly, so why were they still exposed? The princess's mother said that God sees everything we do. It was their ambition that drove them to commit such evil and kill people. The truth will come to light sooner or later, and they will eventually suffer the consequences of their ambition!"
Mu Chen Hanyue nodded, "You're right, they will... suffer the consequences of their own actions."
Mu Chen Hanyue was obviously lacking in confidence when she said this. She had not been successful in her previous life, and she felt a little annoyed inside.
Xiao Xier sat up, pinching her fingers, and thought for a moment. "Whose way did I get in your way? Oh, right, my father and mother didn't tell me, but the princess told me that Nankun had an empress a hundred years ago. She also had a big phoenix as a pet like me. I might be of the Holy Phoenix bloodline, which is why I was murdered!"
"Holy Phoenix bloodline?" Mu Chen Hanxi pretended to be ignorant.
"Yes, that's what the princess mother said. I haven't confirmed it with my father, the emperor, and the queen mother yet. I'll ask them later. I came back this time to investigate the people who murdered me. I want to ask you, sister, were you wrong back then? I died not long after I crawled out of my mother's belly?"
Seeing that she looked like she was truly unaware, Mu Chen Hanyue said, "Indeed! Father, I, and several of my older sisters were all present. We watched you gradually lose your breath. The imperial doctors checked you several times and confirmed that you were dead. The next day, Father and several of us sisters watched you buried in the imperial mausoleum with our own eyes..."
Xiao Xi'er pinched her chin, thinking, "So the person behind this is probably the one who carried me out of the imperial mausoleum. Have you and the Emperor investigated who this person is during this time?"
"We're already investigating. We haven't heard anything about this person yet, but we'll have news soon. Now that you're back, that mysterious person won't dare act rashly. Father and I will protect you."
Regardless of whether Mu Chen Hanxi is testing her or not, what she needs to do now is to quickly control her!
Make her believe without a doubt that she will not harm her good sister!
"Yue'er, Xi'er." Mu Chenxuanyuan came back from the shower and said, "It's getting late, you two should go take a shower."
The two sisters hurriedly got off the big bed and were helped by palace servants to take a bath.
Not long after the palace maids replaced the sheets and quilts, Rong Huan returned to her room and said with a look of surprise, "Yue'er was taken by Xi'er to play in the water. I thought she was mature beyond her years and didn't have the inner thoughts of a child."
Mu Chen Xuanyuan said: "She has been trained as the crown princess all these years, and her childish nature has been suppressed. She is only ten years old and still at the age of playing and eating. However, since she is in an imperial family, she should be more stable, otherwise how will she manage the country in the future..."
Mu Chen Xuanyuan did not say the rest of the words. After a few months, his youngest daughter would return, and he would focus on training her to handle state affairs!
Rong Huan didn't respond. Did she know what he didn't say?
Rong Huan sat in front of the dressing table, her skin as beautiful as ever.
Mu Chen Xuanyuan lay on the bed, waiting for his two daughters to come back.
Rong Huan suddenly remembered something. "Your Majesty, Sister Xi said that Princess Xiao always tells her a bedtime story before she goes to sleep. The memorials she submits daily aren't necessarily all about serious government affairs, right?"
Mu Chen Xuanyuan touched his belly and smiled. "Hanhuan, you're right. There are indeed strange stories among the people, but most of them are related to corrupt officials. I will tell them about it to the two sisters later..."
After Mu Chen Hanyue finished bathing and tidied herself up, she waited for half a minute before little Xier was carried out by Nanny Qiao.
"Mammy, let me go. I'll go back to the bedroom with my sister. You all can go down and rest."
"It's the little princess."
"Sister, let's go back quickly."
Mu Chen Hanyue pulled Xiao Xi'er along as they walked, saying, "Sister will be leaving the Imperial College at the end of the Si hour tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
Xiao Xi'er shook her head: "Studying is very painful. I'd better wait until you finish the Imperial Academy and go to Feng Palace to play with you."
"Then will you stay at Feng Palace with your sister tomorrow night?"
Xiao Xier nodded repeatedly. Feng Palace still hid the secret of Mu Chen Hanyue, so it was a good opportunity to investigate.
